Piquillo Pepper Toast

This simple toast draws on Spanish influence for its intensely satisfying flavor. Piquillo peppers, which get their name from their shape (they look like bird beaks), have a wonderfully sweet, smoky taste. They are classically paired with a creamy cheese, which is replicated in this toast. It is very important to use a high quality, crusty bread as it is the backbone of the toast. — PICNIC LA Executive Chef, Alex Resnick
